I’m so sorry mom and dad, it had to end this way
The pain was more then I could stand, the voices every day
Dad, I give you one last hug, to mom I throw a kiss
To not say that I love you, I would be remiss
It started with a single voice, calling me a nerd
Every day I saw him, his insults would be heard
At first I just ignored him, I’d turn and walk away
But too soon others joined him, much to my dismay
Dad you told me that I should stand up for my rights
But the voices are too many, I couldn’t win those fights
So I drew into myself, avoiding so called friends
To die a little more inside, retreat til each day ends
The principle was told about what I was going through
He politely listened, said not much he could do
However, he’d look into it, monitor my peers
Sadly, nothing ever changed, it just fell on deaf ears
The voices soon got louder, never leaving me alone
I listened to them in the halls, I heard them on my phone
There was no place for me to go except of course my room
But I can’t spend my life in here, it has become my tomb
So today I have decided that I’m unable to remain
In a place I am not wanted, in a shell that’s filled with pain
Mom and dad, don’t weep for me, my nightmares going to end
I’m going to go to sleep now, with these pills, my only friend

heartwrenching
A product of our society I’m afraid. Thanks for stopping by Paul.
Another kid bullied to death. Most schools do NOTHING to help kids who are going through this torment. The phones make matters so much worse. AND NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE BULLIES, we just end up with dead kids. The BULLIES continue to go on their merry way tormenting new kids and then co-workers, spouses, their children. I think it’s time to end it. I think if someone bullies a kid they should be kicked out of school for two years. No second chances. Either that or there should be a school set aside for bullies where they can all be together and bully each other. Looking the other way, “not much I can do,” attitude lead to misery and death. How do the bullies get this much power? How can we ALLOW this to happen? What can we do to STOP it? We need to stop talking and start taking action. It’s like everything else now days…talk, talk, talk and no results…just dead kids.
Very sad.
